    🧭 Depending on where you get to the lake from, there may be a bit of undergrowth in some places 🌳🌿🍃...-
    but then nice panorama
    🌊⛵️💙 and actually wonderful peace and quiet 🤗
    Used for gravel mining since 1961 until probably 2030.

      You have to climb over a few branches and through a small ditch to get to the shore of the lake, but it's all the quieter here. There is a magnificent view of the lake and as the point is not so easy to get to, not many other walkers pass by either.

        Over the last 30 years, various projects have been implemented at Diersfordter Waldsee with the aim of recultivation. These are supported by the Holemans Group, which is also responsible for gravel mining.[1] In 1987, an eight-hectare island was created, complete with a protective ditch for the forest, on which beavers were settled. Controlled sheep grazing also takes place there, as long as it is not used by ground-nesting birds for breeding. In 1996, another 15 hectare island was created, on which beavers were also settled. The shore and structure of the island were modeled in such a way that sand martins and common terns find an ideal nesting place there. Work has been underway since 2005 on a ring-shaped island, which will be completed in 2020 and will be 20 hectares in size by then. This should include an 80 meter wide protective ditch to keep foxes away. In contrast to the other islands, sheep grazing should take place all year round and no artificial flora should be created so that it can develop on its own.
